Light, low profile.
I was looking for an under the jersey option, something light and breathable with a reasonable amount of protection. The A-1 provides this. I have used roost guard and full on compression suits in the past and stopped using them all together because of fit or comfort. The A-1 is a good compromise between protection and comfort. It allows airflow, is comfortable, easy to adjust and not intrusive to your movements.

Super comfortable
This is by far the best chest protector I have owned in thirty years of riding.Its close fitting,lightweight,well ventilated and facilitates ancillary items like my neck brace and hydration pack without bulking me up and having me look like the Michelin Tire man.

Fits really well
I have tried many chest protectors over the years, and I had to say this is one of the most comfortable ones I've put on. The mesh on the outside really form fits to your body and doesn't dig in like so many of the other ones in the market.
I was super disappointed when I had to return it as it was not compatible with my neck brace. The piece in the back does not detach like the previous model so your brace has to fit over top of it. You can remove the whole back piece for a better fit, but now you are losing all protection for your back.
Note - I am wearing a Leatt and not Alpinstars brace. However, the Least chest protectors are no where near as fitting as this one.
If you do not wear a neck brace I would 100% go for this. I am 6'0 and 180lbs and the M/L fit me great.

Questions
Im in between sizes, do these fit on the larger or smaller size?
I’d say they fit a bit smaller . But they’re held by on with elastic so the fit is snug but not uncomfortable
